Heavy rain this morning with a slight breeze..

After the rain had past by the afternoon, We went to dartford high street, walking around the market there was a freak gust of wind, it came from no where and nearly blew me off my feet, people started screaming and cardboard boxes flew in the air along with everything else then it went quite, very strange as we have had hardly any wind all today, can anyone can tell me what that freak gust was? it must of been at least 50mph, very very strong!!
